Fahmi: Universities must equip students to face uncertainty, change
KUALA LUMPUR: The experience of pursuing higher education should be about embracing change, nurturing adaptability and building well-rounded global citizens, said Lembah Pantai member of parliament Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Speaking at the launch of the Lembah Pantai Scholarship 2025 today, Fahmi, who is also the Communications Minister, urged students to approach their university years with openness and curiosity, despite having their paths change along the way. "The whole idea about university to me is to build well-rounded citizens, global citizens. "(To have) people that will be able to adapt themselves, will have the faculty and the frame of mind not only to embrace change and progress, but also build things better," he said. The scholarship launched today, targeted specifically at students in the Lembah Pantai constituency, is part of a broader effort to help young people find and fund the right educational pathway for themselves. The Lembah Pantai Scholarship 2025, introduced by Uni Enrol in collaboration with leading Malaysian private institutions will award 17 full scholarships to the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia students from schools in the constituency. Eligible students include those from households earning below RM8,000 or those who have represented their state or country in sports. The initiative was launched alongside the signing of a strategic investment partnership between Uni Enrol and the Global Education Alliance (GEA), a leading international education group. The collaboration is set to strengthen Malaysia's position as a regional hub for higher education access, particularly for transnational pathways to study destinations such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile, recalling his own experience at Purdue University in the United States, Fahmi shared how entering unfamiliar territory helped shape his perspective. He said it was this openness to change that later helped him navigate life's unexpected turns, including his journey into politics. "I never dreamed that 25 years down the line I would end up being a lawmaker and a minister," he said. Fahmi said today's students have access to more tools and platforms to guide them in their educational choices, helping them find a better fit for their interests and ambitions. He added that platforms such as the Uni Enrol and GEA which have now made matching students to the right courses and universities easier, were not available during his time. "Having these few tools, especially in these times, affords a lot more room for students to find a better match, whether that match will turn out as what they thought it would be. "But whether that match will turn out as what they thought it would be, that is for them to discover.
